Well, it's been awhile since I've visited my blog! My 10th blogiversary has been and gone (Feb 5th). I had all kinds of good intentions for that day, but nothing happened. Oh well. I've been in a bit of a slump recently, but I am now hopefully coming out of it.
Today I am making my mother a Birthday card - she is 80 on Thursday although you would never know it.
She is a wonderful, kind and generous person, who is also an artist, a writer, and a book editor! Here is the LINK to her website.
Anyway, here is a peek at my workspace, with the card in progress (I still have to finish it today!)
It is using a burlap heart I got at Michaels, that I sprayed pink with Dylusions Spray. Then I sewed it onto the background with red thread, (next time I will use a contrasting color), and glued a metal heart to the center. I stamped a flying bird holding a piece of paper, cut it out, and it's going above the heart. That's all so far!
You can see the mess of my desk, and the small space I have to work on. This distresses me! Here are 2 more views of my desk - to the right:
And to the left:
I feel like I can't breathe!! I did spend the last month and a half
RE-organizing all my stamps. I did this 2 years ago I think, thought I "had" it, and 2 years later realizing that no, I didn't. So I set out to fix my mistakes. It didn't take as long this time (only 1 1/2 months instead of 4!), and THIS time I think I "have" it! I will write more on this in my next post, if you are interested in how I finally organized all my mounted stamps, AND my unmounted stamps, please bookmark me and check back in a few days! My next step will be to re-vamp the whole room!
Thank you for peeking at my very messy and disorganized space! I will now go and peek at yours!

The linking numbers do seem to play some tricks! I've noticed this before with my own number, but just thought I was losing my mind! Glad to know I haven't. {LOL}
I followed your link to your Mom's site -- amazing! What a very interesting and enjoyable side trip. :) Thanks for the share. Thanks too for your visit to my blog. I will share a photo again next week. Do stop by again on Valentine's Day first, though. I'll have a little something for all my blogging friends. Happy WOYWW.
Your desk may be crazy busy, but the things you make at it are wonderful. :-)
Thanks for your visit to my blog earlier today and for your nice comments.
Happy creating and happy woyww,

You have a lot of things to play with there. Thanks for visiting. Sugar Craft is not really complicated. I started seven years ago after retiring, after teaching for 30 years. It was good to have time for crafts I enjoyed and start new ones. I teach a monthly paper craft class at my home - the ladies who come have become friends now. Your mum looks very well. My mum has just had her 86th birthday. Anne x #30
I love your much used and well loved workspace! I also visited your Mom's website... WOW!!! Here work is intriguing... saw a couple of painting I wouldn't mind owning if only I had the wall space... *sigh*
Well, off to visit more WOYWWers as I am running very late this week! Whew, where does time go?!
Hugs for now,

What a fun space! I know what you mean about it being distressing though. sometimes i just feel like pushing it off the desk onto the floor!
